Deborah Bradshaw, a colored woman of
Millington, Md. died suddenly at that place
on April 10Th. Subsequent developments
led to the conclusion that she had died
from poison, and suspicion fell upon her
granddaughter Sarah Bradshaw, a girl OF
about 16 years of age. She had meanwhile
left the neighborhood. Search was insti-
tutcd for her and it was found that she had
come to the residence OF her father in
Salem. The necessary papers were pro-
cured and she was arrested in Claysville, a
suburb of Salem, on Friday morning last
by constable Carney, and, being willing to
go without n requisition, was taken to
Maryland, by Sheriff llatchers0n of Kent
County. 1t is said that upon her arrest she
made some damaging admissions that were
strongly indicative of guilt.

The yarn of the SunjcaHe's L. A. Greek
scribe about the two pigs and the COW
which we published last week in all its
brazen enormity, brought out the fol-
lowing from a friend who was lately
on a visit to the handsome country-seat
of j. N. Trainor, at Linwood, Chester
County, Pa. The visitors, under Mr..
Trainor's lead, were inspecting the
stock and surroundings of the farm-yard,
and especially a beautiful Jersey COW, ON
which Mr.. Trainor set great store. After
admiring the animal, their attention was
attracted otherwise, until. presently, look
ing around, they saw Mr.. Trainor's dog
that had followed them into the yard walk
up the COW and deliberately proceed to help
himself to a supply of pure Attorney
milk" direct from the udder, as nonclla-
lantly as if he was the cows own offspring.
The COW did not appear to object in the
least to this strange substitute for a calf.
1t was the first time the dog had been de-
tected in his unlawful practice. In some
respects this story is not up to the i. n. {.
fairy tale, lacking as it does, some of the
dramatic accessories, but it has this one
point of superiority, that it is strictly true.
